Podcast appearances and mentions of Thordis Elva

*Disclaimer for today's conversation* We're going to touch on sexual assault on the show today and this may be triggering for some listeners. Just back from the Icelandic Writer's Retreat with Eliza Reid, Jann invites fellow writer, speaker, and activist Thordis Elva to join the show. She speaks about writing 'South of Forgiveness,' where she confronts her assaulter and heals the young sixteen year-old who's been holding a heavy secret. She reflects on corresponding with him to write the book, the global response to their story, and the importance of dialogue in changing the narrative around sexual violence. Thordis also discusses the importance of believing and supporting survivors of sexual assault. More About Thordis Elva: Thordis Elva is an Icelandic writer, speaker and activist.

Thordis Elva je pozoruhodná žena! Má silný a těžký příběh, který pomáhá řešit bolesti a traumata lidem po celém světě. Navíc zásadním způsobem ovlivňuje současné diskuse nad vztahy a pozicemi žen a mužů.V 16 letech se opila na oslavě, její tehdejší přítel ji doprovodil domu a pak znásilnil. Thordis si prošla dlouhým obdobím popírání, až si dodala odvahy a udělala tu nejméně pravděpodobnou věc: ozvala se po devíti letech svému násilníkovi Thomasi Strangerovi, aby mu vrátila jeho vinu. Vznikl silný příběh o tom, co s námi dělá trauma, bolest a potlačované trápení. A také o tom, jak se zločin propíše i do života viníka.Thordis a Tom promluvili na TedEXu a jejich výstup má miliony zhlédnutí. Společně vydali knihu která se prodává po celém světě.Tento příběh také rozčiluje spoustu lidi po celém světě, kteří chtějí své strachy a trápení schovat za neurvalost.Odhalují tím otázky, které naše společnost pořád neumí odpovědět: je partner anebo přítel jakékoli ženy majitelem jejího těla a ona proto nemá právo odepřít sex? Myslíme si, že je v pořádku znásilnit ženu, která se opije? Žijeme v iluzi, že bolesti svého života nejlépe přežijeme tak, že je popřeme před okolím i sami před sebou?Začíná silný, přátelský a osobní rozhovor, který vás nebude vydírat ani lacině pobuřovat. Ale nenechá vás v klidu. Jsem velmi zvědav na diskusi. Zasmějete se u něj. Zamrazí vás a asi si vzpomenete i na vlastni smutky, bolesti i legrační omyly.Toto je pro dnešek zde na YouTube vše. Na mém Herohero můžete toto video vidět celé, tento týden tam přibude i bonus o tom, co Thordis vzkazuje všem mužům a ženám. Navíc tam bude i kompletní původní, anglická verze.

In this conversation, Thordis Elva explores the complexities of mental health, trauma, and the journey of healing from sexual assault. Thordis shares her personal experience as a survivor and the unique path she took towards understanding and reconciling with her perpetrator. The dialogue delves into the themes of forgiveness, empathy, and that healing is a deeply personal journey. We discuss the complexities of apologies and forgiveness, the weight of true forgiveness, and the possible impact of grudges on personal well-being. We delve into the nuances of the courage it takes to acknowledge wrongdoing, and the long-term effects of trauma on relationships and self-identity. The discussion highlights the complexities surrounding sexual violence, the mindset of perpetrators, and the societal structures that perpetuate these issues. Thordis explains the detrimental effects of toxic masculinity on men themselves and emphasizes the importance of changing attitudes and deconstructing gender stereotypes for a healthier society.

*EPISODE DISCLAIMER* This episode was recorded before brand allegations emerged. It feels very timely but also potentially a difficult time for us to be releasing it. In the end, we wanted to leave as is because Thordis and her story is about more than sexual violence, and because the topic of sexual violence itself is about more than one person and their story. But we're also very aware there are a lot of complex and conflicting thoughts following the allegations emerging. So as ever please do get in touch and let us know your thoughts. Thordis Elva is a writer and speaker best known for her powerful story of forgiving and reconciling with her rapist, Tom. Her Ted Talk, given alongside Tom, has been viewed over six million times. Thordis spoke about her story of sexual assault and journey to forgiveness, the challenge of recognising the human nature of those who hurt you, and the uniting force that is hope.

Thordis collaborated on this book with her perpetrator, Tom Stranger, making her the first rape survivor in the world to publicly do this.

Thordis Elva is an Icelandic playwright, speaker, and author who embraces the power of her voice and uses it to advocate for women's rights and gender equality. This week, she joins the Inner Circle to share the incident of sexual abuse that impacted her life and forever changed the course of her life. She talks about contacting her abuser, and why it's important to demystify who is capable of the act, and how she alleviated her own shame and blame by sharing her truth. Thordis also talks about the powerful TED Talk between herself and Tom, watched by over 5 million people, as well as her book South of Forgiveness, and her superpower of having an “army of light” behind her.  What You'll Hear in This Episode: There is no such thing as an unworthy story, or someone unworthy of sharing their own. It is what makes us connect with ourselves and each other. Thordis has dedicated her career to gender equality and helping women realize they don't need to take the blame and shame from gender-based violence. Thordis details how she was exploited at 16 years old, and really what a profound impact it had on her. Sexual abusers are seen to be mythical inhuman monsters, but really it's far more common to be violated by someone that you know and trust. Thordis reconnected with Tom because she wanted to know “why” and also see how it had marked his life. He also felt the consequences of his actions and wanted to share his story as well so it could be prevented and avoided. Thordis recognizes her privilege of being able to share her experience. Many women are in different situations and can't say anything for fear of being hurt or killed. What it was like when they met up in person, and literally faced their truth once and for all. Thordis and Tom took their conversation of 7+ years to the next level with a TED Talk, “Our story of rape and reconciliation” and their book South of Forgiveness. Thordis found her Army of Light that gave her strength and carried her through a time where she had an extremely slim chance of giving birth to her twins. Whether it's speaking to the UN or a conference of thousands, Thordis puts the emphasis on sharing her truth and threading humanity together by illuminating our faith and belief in miracles. Quotes:  “Every single person on this earth has a story worth telling.” “I needed to unload the blame and the shame.” “The internet has the capacity to bring out the worst in people, but it can certainly bring out the very, very best.” “If you cling to hope, incredible things can happen.” Mentioned:  Our story of rape and reconciliation South of Forgiveness @thordiselva yoga_girl Journey Into the Inner Circle:  Carrie Doll  @CarrieADoll - Twitter @carriedollconsulting - Instagram  Carrie Doll - Facebook Please rate, review and follow the podcast!

Think that feminism is something that only activists can practice? Think that being a feminist means being anti men? Think again! Thordis Elva, renowned TED speaker, author and Activist gives us insight on how to add feminist practices to our daily lives. One particularly great take away was how to incorporate this notion with our kids. If you follow Thordis on Instagram you will get a glimpse into the way that she raises her three boys and especially her eldest son Frey who has more than once stood up to bullies at school because of inequality towards girls in his class.  What I love about Thordis is her passion and brilliance for these huge issues and also her ability to share her vulnerabilities in real life and being a mom to five kids and also her sense of humour. If you haven’t already listened to her incredible interview all about the unbelievable story of her twin baby boys, bed rest and their premature birth then head back to episode 32 and hear her amazing story about how social media helped carry her through this really difficult time in her life.  Today is a big topic but so important to talk about.

***The following episode deals with issues of sexual violence.*** Over twenty years ago, Thordis Elva of Iceland shared a teenage romance with Tom Stranger, an exchange student visiting from Australia. After a school dance in 1996, when she was 16 and he was 18, he raped her. After parting ways and independently examining their own feelings and responses to the traumatic event, Thordis got in touch with Tom. The two would go on to correspond for years and later meet in South Africa to navigate the pain surrounding Tom’s actions together. In October 2016, they recorded a controversial joint TED Talk exploring this journey. This week, we’re joined by Nari Malkhasyan to discuss the talk and its implications regarding shame, trauma and humanity. As we felt the original talk pursued, we hope we also touch on the uncomfortable nuance and difficult questions in our conversation. Lastly, like any episode, this conversation is about reflection and inquiry, not conclusion and declaration. What we discuss may clash with your perspectives and similarly, what Thordis and Tom explored (and acknowledged) is not a prescription for all survivors and perpetrators.

När Thordis Elva var 16 år blev hon utsatt för en våldtäkt. Många år senare beslutade hon sig för att söka upp sin förövare. Detta ledde bland annat till ett uppmärksammat TED Talk, som hon höll tillsammans med mannen som hade våldtagit henne. I veckans avsnitt gästar hon Kakan Hermansson.

Thordis Elva Thorvaldsdottir je mlada islandska novinarka, pisateljica in javna govorka, ki predava o zelo resnih stvareh. Pri 16-ih je bila žrtev posilstva takratnega fanta, avstralskega študenta na izmenjavi v Reykjaviku. Skoraj desetletje je trajalo, da si je o zgodbi upala spregovoriti, s posiljevalcem pa sta se po še nekaj dodatnih letih dopisovanja celo srečala. Skupaj sta tudi nastopila na zelo odmevnem TED-talku. Thordis Elva danes živi na Švedskem, je poliglotka, svetu pa s svojimi predavanji posreduje sporočilo, ki je veliko bolj preprosto od njenega imena – nasilje nad ženskami še vedno obstaja.

Original broadcast date: May 12, 2017. When loss, violence, or betrayal test our willingness to forgive — how do we do it anyway? This hour, TED speakers explore the challenges and benefits of forgiving others — and ourselves. Guests include mental health advocate Sue Klebold, co-authors Thordis Elva and Tom Stranger, and writer Elizabeth Lesser.

In 1996, Thordis Elva shared a teenage romance with Tom Stranger, an exchange student from Australia. After a school dance, Tom raped Thordis, after which they parted ways for many years. In this extraordinary talk, Elva and Stranger move through a years-long chronology of shame and silence, and invite us to discuss the omnipresent global issue of sexual violence in a new, honest way. For a Q&A with the speakers, visit go.ted.com/thordisandtom. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Award-winning writer, journalist and public speaker, Thordis Elva was voted Woman of the Year in her native Iceland for her tireless campaigning for gender equality. She believes in ending the silence that still shrouds sexual violence, of which she is a survivor, and sees dialogue as a means of healing. She has long researched the effect of forgiveness in human relationships, an interest which took her across the globe and into the depths of her own heart, resulting in the book South of Forgiveness which she wrote with Tom Stranger.

In this episode Rachel is joined by Thordis Elva; writer, journalist, public speaker and crusader for women’s rights. Thordis shares the powerful and painful story of how she was raped by her boyfriend at only 16 years old, the downward spiral it sent her on and how she was able to eventually find healing by confronting her perpetrator (who she ended up writing a book with!). They talk about the widespread issue of rape and sexual abuse and how the blame is often places on the survivor instead of on the victim and most importantly: what we can do to change the conversation. Thordis also shares some beautiful advice and support for survivors listening in.

Thordis Elva is disrupting patriarchy. In her forthcoming book, South of Forgiveness, she and her coauthor are challenging the world to rethink our approaches and assumptions on how we address sexual violence and gender stereotypes. I first learnt about her work when I saw her give a TEDTalk at TEDWomen 2015. In the talk, she, the survivor of rape, gave a talk with the perpetrator of rape, Tom Stranger. They stood side-by-side and delivered one of the most thought-provoking talks of the day. The conversations in halls after their talk were diverse. Questions like did Tom need to be punished for his violent act? Had already been punished? Should we address rape through punitive approaches? In this Disruptive Conversation, she argues that violent acts, like rape, are not committed by monsters but by people. In this complex conversation, we explore a number of topics related to sexual violence and gender equality. Thordis is trying to disrupt the way we think about problems in society. In this talk, we go behind her recent TEDTalk and learn a little about what she was hoping to accomplish with her forthcoming book,In this Disruptive Conversation, Thordis argues that violent acts, like rape, are not committed by monsters but by people.

Questions like did Tom need to be punished for his violent act? Had already been punished? Should we address rape through punitive approaches? In this Disruptive Conversation, she argues that violent acts, like rape, are not committed by monsters but by people. In this complex conversation, we explore a number of topics related to sexual violence and gender equality. Thordis is trying to disrupt the way we think about problems in society. In this talk, we go behind her recent TEDTalk and learn a little about what she was hoping to accomplish with her forthcoming book,In this Disruptive Conversation, Thordis argues that violent acts, like rape, are not committed by monsters but by people.
